Chapter 4: A Whole New World

She opened her eyes. She heard a faint beep… beep… beep… somewhere to her left, but when she tried to look, she found her neck to be immobilized.

"You can't move," said a voice on her right. A girl, with jet-black hair almost as long as hers and eyes greener than her own came into view. She looked very serious, her arms were crossed and her brow was furrowed.

"Whe- where am I?" as she looked at her surroundings, she saw that this didn't look like anywhere she had ever seen.

"I'll tell you one thing: you're not in Konoha anymore, Sakura."

"Who are you? How do you know who I am?" asked the pink-haired girl.

"I know everything about you, Haruno Sakura. How? Well, I'll put it simple for you: You are not in Konoha anymore; you're in the United States. So basically, you're not in your world anymore, you're in mine. And you're not in your body anymore either, you're in my best friend's body. Right now you're in a hospital 'cause before you came here, a car ran my friend over, but then you came. My guess is that if you're here, my friend is over there in your world. But we can make sure of that this Saturday at 10 pm. But for now, I'm going to take care of you so you wont mess up. Any questions?"

"Your friend is in my world? In my body? With my Sasuke!" She said, her eyes widening with every word she spoke.

"Sheesh, girl! Don't you ever think of anything but Sasuke? And to answer that, yeah, you got the point. But don't worry; she hasn't got the slightest interest in Sasuke or anything that has to do with your world. Let's just hope it stays that way… But let me enlighten you in how your life will be here. Okay:

First: Your name is Kate Schull and you're 14 years old

Second: Your parents are alive in this world and they are Catherine and Jake Schull

Third: You do not know absolutely anything of Naruto, Sasuke, or anything that has to do with Konoha or your world in general

And Finally: You shall follow my orders of you don't want to end up in a nut house with people around you thinking you're insane. Got that?"

Sakura tried to nod, but when she found out that she couldn't, she said "Okay". This girl seemed dead serious, and didn't look like the person you would like to get angry. But right now she was in another world, she didn't know anyone, and she was away from the love of her life… 'Sheesh, girl! Don't you ever think of anything but Sasuke?' These words echoed in her head. It was true, all her thoughts always ended up drifting to Sasuke. Was this good? No. It's not good. I'll simply have to dominate that since I don't know when I'm going to see him again

"So," Sakura broke the silence, "Where are my parents?"

"They're off doing some paper work," she answered quickly. Sakura was determined to know why did this girl seem so mad. She might as well make friends with her since she was almost like her "Guide".

"What's your name?" Sakura asked.

"… Tammi," she said after a while. A few seconds later, two people came inside the hospital room. The woman was blonde with green eyes and the man had brown hair with blue eyes.

"Kate? Oh, Katie, you're awake!" said the woman and she started fussing over her. Through the hug, Sakura could see Tammi pointing at them mouthing the words "Mom" and "Dad". Sakura lifter her eyebrows and mouthed "Oh" as Catherine Schull smothered her in a teary hug.

After a lot of hugging and crying and "I'm so glad you're awake" and "I thought we'd lose you", Kate's parents left, leaving Tammi and Sakura alone again. Tammi looked at Sakura and she seemed somewhat sad.

"What's up?" Tammi asked her

"I never thought I missed my parents so much…" she said softly, a tear rolling down her cheek.

"I'm sorry," said Tammi.

"They seem to be good people though," said Sakura

"Yeah, they're great." Said Tammi, "I hate to admit this, but that's one thing I've always envied Kate, her parents are the best I've seen. She's basically had the perfect childhood. So you'll probably wont have any problems with them. They're really great people."

Two weeks later, Sakura was well enough to go home. It was Saturday and it was almost 10 pm. In these past two weeks Sakura had learned nearly all there is to know of Kate. They were now waiting for Zatch Bell to end so they could watch Naruto.

"This is so bizarre…" said Sakura as they waited.

"Believe me, I know," said Tammi, "especially considering that I have one of the main characters beside me!" at that moment, the show Naruto started.

"Look! There I am!" Sakura shrieked, pointing at the TV, "Am I really that skinny?" Tammi could not do anything but laugh at this commentary. But they became silent as the show started…
